ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at the opposite end of the spectrum, and tries to attain an extreme oscillation instability, or chaos, by encouraging these unruly soliton dynamics. Broadband secure chaotic communication is an interesting application of chaotic soliton oscillator, and the chapter details its use in chaotic communications. The chaotic soliton oscillators potentially has the capability of generating an extremely broadband chaotic signal, which extends into the THz region. The chaotic soliton oscillator should encourage soliton collisions. One way to construct such a circuit is to place an nonlinear transmission line (NLTL) and an amplifier in a closed-loop circular configuration. Although in the chaotic soliton oscillator, a termination circuit is not a must, because it is not necessary to suppress reflections from the end of the NLTL to preserve the stability. The chapter describes one possible application of the chaotic soliton oscillator, namely secure binary communication.
